Gibbs Farm is a privately owned sculpture park is only rarely open to the public, so with the generosity of the owner this is a truly special opportunity to spend the day among some of the best examples of works by Anish Kapoor, Andy Goldsworthy, Richard Serra, Daniel Buren, Chris Booth and more. Curator Jane Sutherland will lead this tour. The scope, ambition and artistic quality of Gibbs Farm rivals major collections and sculpture parks around the world. Guests will enjoy a picnic lunch at the farm.

Description

Celebrate Art will give guests an exclusive tour of the privately-owned and rarely-accessible Gibbs Farm sculpture park, stockroom tours of leading Auckland galleries Gow Langsford and Two Rooms, and the opportunity to listen and learn from two of the southern hemisphere art world’s foremost scholars.

The chance to view the Gibbs Farm sculptures, set against the stunning backdrop of the Kaipara Harbour is a highly sought-after experience and one that a privileged few can enjoy. Combine this with three days of indulging in food, Greystone wines, spa and golf in the idyllic surrounds of The Lodge at Kauri Cliffs, and you have a weekend never to be forgotten.

Guest speakers Sue Gardiner and Rhana Devenport are engaging speakers so expect to be enthralled by their takes on what's important, what's happening now and what you need to know in today's fast moving art work.
